Caller: Scammer

Mandarin speaker who knows your name probably other personal info. They faked this phone number. Trying to scam you. Bad people exist in this world. Hope they all get caught soon.

I have contacted the High Commission of Australia, regarding the calls coming from this number. And they have confirmed it is a scam call. They will try to contact people who have a name that sounds Asian.
The scam using a VOIP redirection to pretend that the number is an official Australian Number. If you call the number you will get the correct department, however if the number is calling you, then it could be a digital number generated from elsewhere. If they are trying to make out you have done something illegal, or otherwise, please note that the official australian government departments don't do this. And if you have done something illegal, you will have a police officer at your front door, thats how it works in Australia.

I received a call from this number this morning. This scammer upgraded their staff to those who speak English with a bit of Southeast Asian accent. However, it was hard to understand what the lady was saying at first time, I said could you please write down your request and send it by email as I don't know what you are requesting. She said it was an emergency call, and our calls would be recorded bla bla bla. Finally, I understand her meaning. the lady said I had a package from China containing something illegal bla bla bla. I said so what is the resolution, she said she would ask her manager and let me hold...Scammer indeed!!! Be careful everyone! They upgraded with English speakers!!!!!

Asian caller with knowledge of full name, claimed to be from Australian border force who had been contacted by Chinese customs in guangzhou about a package that has been held purportedly containing meth when declared as sugar... Phone number comes up as Customs Broker - 365 Freight and Customs PTY LTD on Android phone and caller tried to fake legitimacy by asking to check / confirm the number.

Not Taiwan accent. Definitely Chinese from China

Scammer. Saying I have a luggage something. Nonsense anyway.

A lady claimed her name is Robin and gives a job id and document id saying I am involvedwith immigration documents fraud..A bit South American accent and insisting me to go to the officer in 2 hours otherwise I will be fined. She even asks me to check online for the number called to verify. Too bizarre and scammer.

Just received a call today. Mandarin speaker knows my name, but cannot speak English. This number is searched as the Department of home affairs in Canberra, but why cannot speak English? Careful to answer this number.

Mandarin speaker with strong Taiwan accent. Knows your name. Pretend to be immigration Department officer. Telling you will be restricted to leave the country within 2 hours, due to fake passport found in China, etc. Rubbish.

Indian accent guy called me from this number saying I ordered parcel with full of sugar, and other drugs and that package is held on the border.
They knew my full details, email and old address that I lived in 3 years ago.
I asked him to wrap up everything and send it to my email and he said He can’t..(?) That’s what Government usually does. Also, in the Australia law they cannot record any voice call without the permission from us.
From start to the end, piece of sh*t and They don’t even know what immigration department is about. SCAM SCAM SCAM

Called to say I was shipping ice. Indian accent

Caller: Someone with a Filipino accent saying they are from the Australian Border Force

They asked me if Iam (my real name) saying they have a package in my name from China. I told her its a scam. She said it's not, and the call is being recorded. She called me again, and I didn't pick up. I'm reluctant to pick up any landline calls now. So full of it. I think they pick on me as I have an Asian surname. So worrying. Some of the posts here sound very familar.

An English speaking man claim to be an officer for Australia border. Knows my name. Said a parcel sent by me blablabla. Called me 7 times in total including the one I hang up or decline.
